Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad.
To the Editor of the Charleston Bally News:
In accordance with promise, we resume our re?
marks on the Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad.
In your editorial of 20fch August you remark, "It
is a very important enterprise-important to the
interests of the city, und therefore deserving of
our fullest attention." We now propose to show
fcbat Charleston has not been fully awake to those
important interests. Let any citizen glance at
an accurate map of the United States, and he
will find that a straight line from Charleston to
Raleigh, North Carolina, passes nearly through
the vast coal basin on Deep River. Let him re?
member that Professor EMMONS, the State Geolo?
gist of North Carolina, Professor SHEPPARD, of
Charleston, and others, made elaborate reports on
the immense coal, iron, and other mineral de?
posits of that region; that the United States Sen-1
tte appointed a special commission to examine
nto thqse matters, and that specimens ol' the coal,
kc, have from time to time been exhibited in tho
sity, and public attention called to its value as
'uel, and more especially for the production of gas.
Let him remember these facts, and does it not
ieem strange that the scheme of building a rail?
road to that point should not have been projected
n Charleston? Nay, more, that when it is pro
ected, that the people of the city should not only
have allowed it to "lay dormant till within the
past few years," and thon left it for Col. A. MAO
PARLAN, a gentleman of the interior,, in no way
jonnected with the merchants, mechanics, capi?
talists, and other residents of the city, to create
"an interest in the road"?
The merchants and citizens generally of Charles?
ton have nevor been properly impressed with tho
importance of the valuable trade which must bo
tributary to this road, and which, if they fail to
build it, must inevitably go to Wiltniugton. Let
tia soe what our enterprising neighbors of that
sity are doing with reference to that trade.
While wo are waiting "for something lo turn
up," that wise and energetic people have project?
ed a railroad from Wilmington to Charlotte and
Rutherlbrdton, and it may surprise our people to
know that the Wilmington, Charlotte and R?ther- j
fordton Railroad is completed to a point within ]
twenty-five miles of Cheraw,-that it is in full i
md active operation, carrying the products of
Richmond, Robeson, Montgomery, Anson and
3tanley oounties, No. Ca.,-yes, carrying the pro
iuots of Marlborough District of this State to
Wilmington, and bringing the goods for the mai
kets of these oounties from that thriving city. Yes,
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherfordton
Railroad is to-day quietly doing with the trade of
tho rich border oounties of North and South Ca?
rolina what the Wilmington and Manchester Rail?
road has been doing with that of our Northeast?
ern and Middle Dist rio ts-drawing it to Wilming?
ton; while we, who have'heretofore had that
trade, take no steps to counteract it, Can it be
possible thai our people are to continue standing
.,lt* M. mww M?i.l.i' '.i I III ? n i --j- . TJ--~ -
their doors, ?hen a little exertion, a little timely
expenditure, can prevent it ?
We are informed that muoh of this valuable
trade oan be kept in the old channel, and no in?
considerable inorease of trade oan be scoured to
the city, by the construction of a portion of the
Coalfields Railroad-that if the first twenty-three
miles, from Cheraw to the intersection of the Wil?
mington, Charlotte and Rutherfordton Railroad,
about, two miles from Wadesboro', the County
seat of Anson, were completed-the largest and
most valuable part of that trade will be retained
trhile that muoh progress towards the main ob
?eot, ihe ooal and iron region on Deep River,would
be made. We are also informed that it is believed
by competent judges that this portion of the road
would be self-sustaining from the beginning of ac?
tive operations-and each successive seotion of
ten miles will in like manner sustain itself. In
ither words, the local business of the road will,
in itself, be profitable. That the through freight
and passenger receipts, added to the local trade,
will make the road profitable, few will havo tho
temerity to gainsay.
At this late day it would seem a work of super?
erogation to say anything about the importance
of a regular Bupply of coal to our people. Wo
shall therefore confine ourselves to the considera?
tion of the practicability of getting such a supply
from the coal mines on Deep River. Our people
have already tested tho' coal of that region. It
was used during the war to some considerable
extent. Can it be brought to the city on such
terms as to allow of its general use ?
It' can now be mined and delivered on the care
at the Egypt Shaft foi' two dollars per ton, even
under all the present disadvantages of disorgan?
ized labor and depreciated currency. We have
been informed that it can bo transported by rail?
road at a cost of one and one-half cents per
ton per mile. This would give us the following
figures :
1 ton of coal costs at mine..$2.00
Transportation 225 miles. 8 38
$5.38
To this add for contingencies and profit
to the wholesale dealer. 3.62
And it will cost the consumer.$8 Ot) per ton.
These estimates are larger than is believed to
be correct, but we would prefer erring on the safe
side. To enumerate the advantages to tho City
f Charleston, incident to the through line to
Raleigh, the vast increase of population whioh
must flow into the valley of Deep River, when that
at present land-looked region is opened to the
seaboard, and the shortening of the line from the
city to Charlotte, would require more time than
we can spare, and perhaps exhaust tho patience
of some of your readers who are already familiar
with these things. We therefore forbear, but can?
not close without asking if our merchants and
capitalists have heretofore been remiss, is it not
high time to be up and doing ? Can nothing be
done to give active life to this important enter?
prise? F. A. W. S.

fl JEW YORK LETTER.
[FROM OUR OWN C?BBB8PONDENT.]
NEW YOBK, August 28.-The lengthy article,
and almost equally comprehensive editorial, that
appeared in last Sunday's Herald on the subject
of the gamblers and gambling in this city, have
turned the attention of the masses, and, it is to
be hoped, will turn the attention of the authori?
ties, to a growing evil which Beonis destined to
put the cholera and all othor plagues entirely in the
shade, as, comparatively speaking, innocuous
visitors. It is generally conceded that JOHN
MORRISSEY, the greatest faro dealer in the United
States, is actually to be brought out as a candi?
date for Congressional honors; and it is even
hinted that if "checks" or money will serve his
"turn," the ex-prize fighter will go in and win.
So far as I eau judge, I can confidently assort that'
a very large majority of Southerners who have
visited this city ia the past month or two, have
deposited more money ia the various faro banks
here than ia the hotels where they boarded, or in
the hands of the treasurers of less expensive
places of amusement. It may he as well for them
all to know that out of the two thousand
gambling holes, or hells, in this city, there may
be possibly about a half dozen places where the
game is played fairly; and even ia the so-called
squaro games the chances are about three to one
against the player. For heaven's Bake, let our
Southern men, who at best have a sufficiently
small amount of greenbacks, abandon, once and
forever, all hopes of winning from this grand
army of thievos hore; or if they will play faro, let
them throw their money away at home, instead of
giving themselves the trouble to come on hore to
so do in 'a more expeditious manner.
The preparation for the grand procession and
Presidential reception goes bravely on, and overy.
one is on the qui vive of expectation, hoping to

A daring robbery waa perpetrated yesterday at
the Metropolitan Hotel, A guest had gone to bed

pursued the gentleman down the,stairs, not stop?

years old.
A gentleman named CARVER was on the point
of becoming united yesterday to one Miss BOLES

up in said bonds together with a lady named MC?
CULLUM, from whom, also loving money as well
as matrimony, he had walked off with eighty-two
dollars in currency. CARVER will be instructed as
to the nature of the law in regard to bigamy.

The Congressional Nominations.
[From the N. T. Evening Post, Repub.]
We hear from the Weat that the Republican
Congressional Conventions are nominating, for
the most part, candidates who favor the imme?
diate admission to Congress of members Irom all
States, subject to tho constitutional decision of
each House. We hope that the Republican nomi?
nating conventions in this and other Eastern
States will do the same. At one time we thought
this of but little importance, because we believed
that the present Congress, as soon as it reassem?
bled in December, would dismiss the Joint Com?
mittee on Reconstruction, and admit to their seats
all claimants who could taite the established
oaths. We have found reason to behove since
then, however, that the vindictive and obstinate
men who have gained the control ot' the Repub?
lican majority in Congress aro fully determin?
ed to carry out their designs at all hazards, anil
that they will refuse to a'lmib ' the States.
They have ruled so despotically in this Congress
that they may have the influence to rule
that body during thev remainder of its
existence ; and therefore the question, wheth?
er or no the Southern States, lately in re?
bellion, shall be represented in Congress, is forced
upon the people. Du thai question we behove the
majority of the Northern people do not hold with
Messrs. Stevens and Sumner. They are tired of
a method of "reconstruction" which appears end?
less, and which, after eight months, has recon?
structed nothing. They want something done,
and they are conscious that Congress bas not
done, but only obstructed everything. They be?
lieve that Congress haB supreme authority in the
matter under the Constitution; and they would,
we believe, have supported Congress, had it last
December, as soon as it met, condemned the
whole reconstruction aots of the President, and
proceeded to a regular and constitutional reor?
ganization of Government in the Southern States
provided this had been speedy. But it ia now too
lato. But Congress chose to do nothing of the
kind. It has, as Gov. Morton and other recog?
nized Republican leaders declare, accepted the
President's acts of reconstruction; it does not
mean, as these gentlemen tell us, and as
the action of Congress proves, to disturb
what the President has done. It only means
to do something more; aud that something
is so arranged that it virtually puts off the
reconstruction, and con;inue8 tho present dis?
organized state of tho country indefinitely. Now,,
we shall not argue tho right of Congress to do
this;, wo only say that it is not good policy; that it
injures the -country; that it keeps open and in?
flames old wounds; that it perpetuates a mischiev?
ous strife; that it strengthens prejudices and
hatreds on both sides; that it affords great oppor?
tunities for wicked and ambitious men to raise
false issues in our politics; and, finally, that it
continues the country in what is actually a state
of war and revolution, a condition in which,
whether the Exeoutive observes the laws or not,
whether it respects the Constitution or violates it,
is a matter to be decided by its good will and
judgment alone. There is no safety-nothing but
the moat terrible danger-to the country in suoh
a state of things, Daily this danger increases.
We are threatened now with the gravest misfor?
tunes that can happen to a country. Congress
leaves us ina revolutionary state: how far off is
anarchy? Political Bocioty is held together, this
day, in America, by the mere good sense and for?
bearance of oitizene; but how long will this endure?
Is it politic or wise to strain everything in thia way ?
Our only safety lies'in the quiokest possible return
to strict constitutional forms. There may be
risks in that, as some well-meaning men assert,,
but the risks we are now running are infinitely
greater. Under the Constitution, with all par?s
of our complex government working with regu?
l?r" the safe ooaree of argument and discussion,
Wa cannot gain it in any other way securely. We
cannot establish the Millennium by a military gene?
ral order; we cannot put off upon the General
Government the work which oitizens must do.
We cannot achieve, in Mississippi, by bayonet, a
reform of publio opinion whioq was efieoted in
Massachusetts, and New York and Ohio, only
by long, patient and persistent argument.
We have the right of free discussion-let
it be used. The men who, with Congress, propose
to keep the States out, and thus keep the country io
disorder, decline to use or exeroise this* right,
They assert that it would be dangerous-and thus
they make it dangerous, perhaps. Let them try
it; they will find it safe enough. And that is the
only way to reform the Southern States-by tho?
rough, persistent, continued, irrepressible discus?
sion. Every Southern State should be "stumped"
this fail and winter by the ablest Republican
speakers and lecturers; a grand National Mass
Convention of Republicans should be held in a
Southern city as soon as possible; leading South?
ern men should be called to speak in the North,
while leading Northern men speak all over the
South. So long as the Republican party refuses
to begin this work, so long does it subject itself to
be stigmatized as a sectional party. So long as
it depends on Congress, or" oil the-military arm,
and not on the force of argument, eo long will it
go toward ruin.
The people of this country want things done;
they wanted the war "put through," to use a
popular phraso; and they quietly brushed away
McClellan and Buel, and nil the other mere ob?
structionists who, whatever their merits, had not
the ono merit of gutting ahead. So they want
constitutional government restored; they want to
see the country Bafely back under the old safe?
guards and forms, with all tho machinery work?
ing, and they will brush aside all mere obstruc?
tionists. They do not care whether a sohemo of
reconstruction is ingenious or tho reverse-what
they demand is something that will work, and
work at once. McClellau'a plans wore correct
and full of science, no doubt, but they did not
boat the enemy, therefore he was displaced.
Grant's plan, West Pointers used to tell us, had
very little merit; but Grant did the work, and he
is rightfully Geueral. We hope the Republicans
avery where will put in nomination good men,
loyers of Ift??twl liberty; and. we hope that for
Congress they will noiuliiate *niv men who see ?
;he importance, first of all, of admitting all the ,
States to representation, elud thus bringing the ,
jtmntry back under the safeguards of the Consti
,ution, and rescuing it frortl ita present revolu
ionary condition. .1

non of tho State, and, as connected with the

He was born on the 4th July, 1798, in Rooking
iam County, and graduated in 1817 at the Uni
ersity of tho State. He represented his native
oun ty in 1821 in the L?gislature, and the County
I Guilford in 1836. In 1841 he was elected by the p
Vhig party as Governor, defeating the Hon. R. M. ?
.tudors. He waa re-elected in 1843. Governor
lorehead'a last political service was as a ~
lumber of the Peace Conference which assem
led in Washington in 1801, and vainly attempted H
j check the impending struggle. He was Inti- p
lately connected with the construction of the JJ,
forth Carolina, and the Atlantic and North Caro?
na Railroads, and was the first President of the q
